Exalted

Exalted discusses the various struggles that people with curvaceous figures endure in today's world. Through the use of the Victoria Secret brand, the work calls attention to the fashion industry's lack of size variety and representation of naturally curvy bodies. Exalted also takes aim at entertainment culture, arguing that it fails to adequately empower, sexualize, or romanticize plus-size women. In the past, fuller figures were revered and admired, much like Greek and Roman art and culture. And yet, these days, they are looked down upon, judged for their weight, and scrutinized from all angles; this is related to the statement "Once We Were Exalted." This artwork is intended to recognize plus-sized figures. This body type is no different than the skinny one scene in a tabloid or storefront. Because curvaceous bodies are just as attractive and desirable as straight ones, society must make room for the truth to flourish.
